Abstract

•
Sense of place can play a significant role in landowner well-being; yet is subjective, complex, and difficult to quantify.
•
Through a regression tree analysis of mail survey responses from landowners in the US Edwards Plateau, Central Great Plains, and Flint Hills, we found landowners have diverse senses of place based on a variety of place meanings and differing levels of place attachment.
•
Despite social and ecological regional differences, sense of place was similarly diverse within each region rather than specific to region.
•
Personal experiences related to way of life, peace and quiet, personal legacy, autonomy, and inspiration may be fundamental meanings for place attachment and well-being on private lands.
•
The potential for landowners’ place meanings and attachment to contribute to their well-being necessitate including sense of place in efforts toward socially and environmentally sustainable private lands management.

牧场上的地方感:南方大平原土地所有者的地方意义、地方依恋与幸福感

•地方感可以在土地所有者的福祉中发挥重要作用;然而，它是主观的，复杂的，难以量化的。•通过对美国爱德华兹高原、中部大平原和弗林特山土地所有者的邮件调查回复进行回归树分析，我们发现土地所有者基于各种地方意义和不同程度的地方依恋而具有不同的地方感。•尽管社会和生态的区域差异，地方感在每个区域内同样多样化，而不是特定于区域。•与生活方式、和平与宁静、个人遗产、自治和灵感相关的个人经历可能是私人土地上的地方依恋和幸福的基本含义。•土地所有者的地方意义和依恋对其福祉的潜在贡献，需要在社会和环境可持续的私人土地管理努力中包括地方感。
